Revealed: Star Wars The Last Jedi will have no love story, no alien main character... and no 'Donald Trump'

The original Star Wars trilogy had a power-hungry, military-obsessed villain who tried to wipe out an entire religion.

But there will be no allusion to Donald Trump in The Last Jedi.

Director Rian Johnson revealed to Vanity Fair some of plot points that will and will not be included in Episode VIII - and modern political allegory is a definite no.

'To me, the power is greatly diminished if suddenly you have a character stand up in front of the Imperial Senate who has orange hair and is saying, "Let's make the galaxy great again",' he said.

'It just cheapens it all and divides the audience. What actually matters, and what these films can actually speak to, are the fundamental building blocks of what makes people good, what makes people brave, what are the things we should be fighting for.'

Also missing from the penultimate chapter is a one-on-one love story, which were central to the previous two trilogies.

The many fans who were holding out for a Finn - Poe Dameron romance will be disappointed, as the director confirmed there is 'no one-to-one equivalent of the Han-to-Leia, burning, unrequited love. In our story, that's not a centerpiece.'

He also confirmed there would be no alien main characters, akin to Yoda or Jar Jar Binks.

'Most of the creatures are peripheral characters, but they're throughout the entire film,' he revealed.

Another plot point that will not be followed up on is Finn's potential Force sensitivity.

While he had Stormtrooper training, the defector managed to hold his own with a lightsaber for an impressive amount of time against the Force-powerful Kylo Ren.

'But you never know,' John Boyega told the magazine. 'I talk to Mark Hamill sometimes and he tells me stories about how he wasn't told about the 'Darth Vader is his father' situation until he got on set.

'I feel like there must be something going on, something that makes me go, 'Huh, why does he wield one, and what's that all about?' It'll be interesting to see if that's ever explored.'

Vanity Fair also revealed the first ever look at Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro in character, along with new details.

Del Toro, who plays a 'shady character' of unclear allegiances, has yet to be named — nor will he be in the film.

The filmmakers however refer to him as 'DJ' — with director Rian Johnson confirming audiences will know why when they see the film.

In the Star Wars universe, DJ could refer to Dark Jedi, a practitioner of the Force who turned to the Dark Side, but was not a Sith lord.

In the first released photo — shot, like the rest of the shoot by Annie Leibovitz — a rugged Del Toro certainly looks shady in a long, well-worn leather trench coat, dark pants and boots, with what may be a blaster holster on his right thigh.

Dern meanwhile will play 'a prominent officer in the Resistance named Vice Admiral Holdo.'

Her picture shows her regally dressed in a long lavender gown, with matching lavender hair.

There were plenty of other The Last Jedi secrets revealed by Vanity Fair besides.

Luke Skywalker's forlorn self-imposed exile to Ahch-To is not as lonely as it looks: the island is populated by an indigenous race of little caretaker creatures that are 'not Ewoks', according to Johnson.

As previously revealed, Episode VIII's biggest new role is a Resistance maintenance worker named Rose Tico who is thrust into a much bigger role; she is played by Kelly Marie Tran, who is also one of the Vanity Fair cover stars.

The mag also reveals her sister is a Resistance gunner under the tutelage of Poe Dameron, and will be played by Vietnamese actress Veronica Ngo.

Johnson also discussed one of the new locales: the casino city of Canto Bight, 'a Star Wars Monte Carlo–type environment, a little James Bond–ish, a little To Catch a Thief.'

'It was an interesting challenge, portraying luxury and wealth in this universe,' he said. 'I was thinking, O.K., let’s go ultra-glamour. Let’s create a playground, basically, for rich a**holes.'
